I just finished watching the documentary Happy. Among a myriad of different practices, it pointed to the positive effect of counting one's blessings. So, once a week every week, this is something I shall do. Five things for which I am thankful.
1. The able body which steers me around this planet. I forget sometimes how much I am capable of. I am thankful for my health and strength.
2. My family and their health, this goes without saying. My parents are extremely loving and supportive of me. What a pleasure it is to spend time with them!
3. My friends who love and accept me for who I am, quirks and eccentricities included. They give me a sense of joy and comfort.
4. Loving what I do. I am so lucky to have a job that I genuinely love. Coming back here after a week away reminded me how much fun I have at work.
5. The (necessary) luxuries I take for granted every day: toilets, clean water, nutritious food, the freedom to pursue activities I find enjoyable, these are all necessities that every human should be allowed.
